Entering this season, expectations were low for the Rams. No one outside of Los Angeles thought they had a chance to win the Super Bowl, let alone make the playoffs. They shocked everyone by going 11-5 and winning the NFC West, earning their first postseason berth since 2004.

By every measure, it was a tremendous season for the Rams. Sean McVay made history several times, Jared Goff took a huge step forward and Todd Gurley looks like the player everyone thought he’d be out of Georgia.

There was a litany of talent up and down the roster with just about every position exceeding expectations. Here’s how we graded each one this past season.

Quarterback

A number of people outside of Los Angeles were calling Jared Goff a bust after just seven career starts. Granted, they didn’t go well at all, and he certainly struggled mightily, but it was far too early to label him a wasted pick.

He proved that this season, putting together a season deserving of a spot in the Pro Bowl. He improved in each and every department, completing 62 percent of his passes for 3,804 yards and 28 touchdowns. He had seven interceptions, which is the same number of picks he had in just seven games last season.

He wasn’t perfect or the league’s best quarterback by any means, but he played an integral role on offense. Outside of his fumbling issues and rough outings against top defenses, Goff was fantastic in 2017.
